This tie has a geometric pattern in black, gold and silver... It is extra long. All Silk Handmade.. Preloved...but this tie looks perfect to me. I prefer to ship via priority mail...or first class. Free tracking number for domestic shipping. I wrap item in the way that I think is the safest, but, I can't be responsible for the post office. I am always happy to ship internationally... Most of my items are vintage. Any vintage item should be considered used and should be expected to have some level of normal wear from age or storage. I ship from a non smoking house, but I don't know the story of these items before I get them. Some people may notice odors that I don't, so I can't say that they are odor free, smoke free, or pet free. If there is a problem, or you are unhappy with any of my items, please get in touch with me. I really don't like to have unhappy customers and will try my best to make your shopping experience with me "just right." I love to ship multiples. When you win more than one item, I charge you the highest freight and between 1 and 3 dollars for all the additional items within reason. Have a good time shopping with me and please add Gollitexas to your "favorites list."
